Episode 8 For What It's Worth

Hello, and welcome to For What It's Worth,

a quiz that is also competition in antiques.

Now, three pairs of contestants are ready to play

and each team has a quizzer, who has to answer a general knowledge

question correctly so that their partner, the picker,

has a chance to choose an antique or collectible and build a collection.

The aim of the game is to amass the most valuable collection.

Here on the show, we are all about the stunning, old things.

Speaking of which,

our antiques expert today is Charlie Ross.

-HE LAUGHS

-Thank you, Fern.

What's that tie you are wearing today?

It's my special tie, Fern. It's Shakespeare's insults.

Oh, tell me one.

"There's many a man hath more hair than wit."

SHE LAUGHS

Well, of course, you are very witty and very wise as well.

Hm, that's for others to judge.

What have we got on the show today?

We have got...

a cupboard,

a peeler,

a book,

a clock,

a puppet...

..a coffee pot,

some earrings,

a coin,

some chairs,

a bowl,

a brooch

-and a share certificate.

-Hm.

Now, one of these items is our top lot, which is

worth a whopping £2,500.

That is the lot to spot because, at the end of the show, the winning

pair will walk away with the cash equivalent of one of their items.

But beware, because the lots decrease in value right down to

our worthless lot, which is worth a tenner or less.

That, of course, is the lot to avoid.

So, who is playing today? Well, let's meet our teams.

Team One, who are you?

My name is Steve and this is my fiancee, Tina.

I'm mad on pigs and teddies and he collects vinyl records.

-Very nice to meet you. Welcome.

-Thank you.

Team Two, who are you?

Yes, I'm Colin.

This is my friend, William, who I've known for 30 years

and we were in the police force together.

And we enjoy ferreting in second-hand shops

and going to auctions together.

Welcome and good luck. Team Three, who are you?

I'm Leslie and this is my husband, David.

Hello, I met Leslie 20 years ago on a motorcycle ride

when my mate said, "Come and meet my mate called Les."

And Les turned out to be this gorgeous woman.

-A female rather than male, yes.

-CHARLIE CHUCKLES

Very nice to have you here and good luck.

Now earlier, our teams got to inspect our lots,

watched over by our expert, Charlie,

but could they separate the collectibles from the disposables?

-Oh.

-Ooh!

Right.

Where do we start?

-I love the glass on that.

-Yeah, stained.

It looks like it's out of a church.

It looks like a cupboard.

Stained glass. It says cupboard, yes.

It's a cupboard, spotted.

-Got a bit of woodworm.

-That's good.

-Zzz.

-It's got some age.

I know we are talking a bit of age now.

-You talking about yourself?

-Yeah.

It is silver. Solid silver.

-Want the glasses?

-Yes, let's share the glasses.

-Let's share the glasses.

-Why didn't you bring your own?

Oh, he looks lovely in your glasses, Leslie.

It's got the lion on there. Is that Birmingham?

-But now there's a lot of collectors for railway memorabilia.

-Mm-hm.

I've got one of these share certificates at home

and mine are worth about...

10 pence each.

A bit boring.

-WILLIAM:

-I haven't got a clue. They look very nice, don't they?

-Yeah.

-Are you contributing to this?

-HE LAUGHS

I like the velvet. Oh, that's beautiful underneath.

"Illustrated in colour and black and white by Mabel Lucie Attwell."

Oh, I love her. She does all the little pixies and everything.

Good work, Tina.

I think I would go for that.

-Well, it's a beautiful, beautiful cameo.

-That's nice.

Looks Italian, David.

-What's it made of?

-Is that ivory?

(It sort of feels a bit plastic-y.)

I like the way she whispers, "Feels a bit plastic-y."

There's nothing to say what it is. It's just a green bowl, isn't it?

Yeah.

To me, I'd say that was a worthless item.

Ooh-hoo, bling. This is me. Bling.

I think Les is the only person we've had

that's actually run from exhibit to exhibit.

-It might not be British.

-They are lovely. I would wear them.

Is it a Roman emperor's head?

No, I don't think it's George

or anything like that. It looks earlier than that.

There's no hallmark to it, it's not even solid.

Got to be silver-plated, ain't it, that?

-LESLIE:

-Puppet, ooh!

I love puppets.

-STEVE:

-A little bit like you.

-Do you remember that children's programme, Whirligig?

-Yeah.

Top of the class.

Me, personally, I would say that the most expensive item is the cupboard.

And the book might be worth having a stab at.

The coffee pot...

-Going with the coffee pot, yes?

-As top lot?

-Yes.

And the least expensive is that peeler.

The peeler, which I think is worth nothing.

-The least expensive, the peeler.

-You never agree with me.

-No, I'm not... But I'm going to go for the peeler.

-Really?

-Yes.

-Hey, we both agree. Give it to me.

-Right.

-That makes a change, doesn't it?

-THEY CONTINUE ARGUING

Charlie, what did you make of their comments?

Well, we had a lot of humour

and by and large, each couple agreed with one another.

Surprising, really.

And how has the valuation been arrived at with these?

Well, the values for each lot have been agreed between myself

and an independent valuer.

They are based on the hammer price we would expect them

to reach at auction, but with no auction cost added.

Just to add an extra twist, we have our mystery lot.

Now, it could be worth thousands or it could be worth peanuts.

That is for our winners to decide later.

But for now, it's time for Round 1.

APPLAUSE

I'm going to ask eight General Knowledge questions.

Pickers, before each one, I will ask you to select a lot that you

would like to play for and, quizzers, if you buzz in with

a correct answer, you will get to add it to your collection.

But beware, if you buzz in incorrectly,

you will be frozen out of the next question.

So, pickers, please make your first pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina

have gone for the book

as have William and Colin.

But David and Leslie

have gone for the brooch.

OK, quizzers, fingers on buzzers. Question one.

What is the name of the fictional town in which the cartoon

The Flintstones is mainly set?

-Yes, Steve?

-Redrock.

Oh, Steve, so close. You said Redrock...

Yeah, it's Bedrock, isn't it?

It's actually, Bedrock. Exactly that.

-I'm so sorry, you are frozen out of the second question.

-That's fine.

Pickers, make a pick.

Let's see what you have chosen.

William and Colin have gone

for the coffee pot.

David and Leslie have gone

for the coffee pot.

Who's going to get it?

Question two, in the UK school system,

a year is divided into how many complete terms?

-William?

-Three.

Three is correct.

The coffee pot is yours.

Steve and Tina, you are back in play.

Pickers, make a pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina, gone for the book.

William and Colin, the brooch.

David and Leslie,

the share certificate.

Question three,

which song by The Buggles was the first music video to...

-Yes, Steve.

-Video Killed The Radio Star.

Correct. The full question is -

which song by The Buggles was the first music video to air on MTV?

The correct answer is Video Killed The Radio Star.

Well done, the book is yours.

Pickers, pick a lot.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina have gone

for the puppet.

William and Colin, the coin.

David and Leslie, the puppet.

Hm.

Quizzers, question four.

In the 19th century, which empire was

so extensive that it was said that the sun never set on it?

-Yes, William.

-Ottoman.

Incorrect.

It was the British Empire.

I'm so sorry, you are frozen out of this, William.

Pickers, please make a pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina,

continuing with the puppet.

David and Leslie, the chairs.

OK, question five.

Arthur Miller based his play After The Fall

on his relationship with which screen siren?

-Yes, Steve?

-Marilyn Monroe.

Correct, the puppet is yours.

William and Colin, you are back in the game.

Pickers, make a pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina have gone

for the cupboard,

William and Colin, the brooch.

David and Leslie, the bowl.

Question six, which Dutch artist painted The Starry Night?

Yes, Steve.

Vincent van Gogh.

Correct. Well done.

The cupboard is yours.

Pickers, make a pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina are going

with the coin

as are William and Colin.

And David and Leslie have chosen

the clock.

Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win

the Best Picture Oscar in 2010 for what film?

Time's up. It was The Hurt Locker.

This is for the final question of this round. Pickers, make a pick.

Let's see what you've chosen.

Steve and Tina, still going

with the coin.

William and Colin, the brooch.

David and Leslie,

going for the coin.

Question eight, which popular Greek cheese is often made using

a combination of sheep and goat's...

-David.

-Feta.

The full question - which popular Greek cheese is often made

using a combination of sheep and goat's milk?

It is feta. The coin is yours.

And at the end of Round 1, let's see what everybody has.

Well, Steve and Tina have the book,

the cupboard and the puppet.

William and Colin

have the coffee pot.

And David and Leslie have the coin.

So our teams have started to build their collections,

but have they chosen wisely?

Well, before they have the chance to add more of them,

Charlie is going to give each pair a fact about a lot of their choice,

which should be everything they need to know to make a valuation.

Steve and Tina, welcome to the show.

So, Steve, what do you do?

I work on a holiday camp, on the maintenance side.

Me and Tina decided to move down to Cornwall about eight months ago

-and it is superb.

-Place of my childhood.

-The best county in the world is Cornwall.

-It's gorgeous.

-We love it.

Tell me about you, Tina. What do you collect?

I'm mad on teddies, I've got about 80.

Have you got a Steiff bear?

I've only got one that I could afford.

Yeah, I have a bit of a passion for teddies as well.

Hopeless, isn't it?

So, Steve and Tina, what would you like to know more about

from Charlie? It could be in your collection, someone else's or

still on the grid.

-I would like to know about the book, please.

-The book.

This is a rare edition of a story we are all familiar with -

JM Barrie's Peter Pan And Wendy.

This antique volume is bound in green cloth

with stamped lettering at the top of the spine cover.

The book is illustrated by British illustrator Mabel Lucie Attwell.

It was published in 1921, stands ten inches high

and is in decent condition.

-But what's it worth?

-Hm.

-Thank you.

Let's meet Team Two. William and Colin, welcome.

William, what do you do?

I'm a part-time verger in the Cathedral of Wales in Somerset.

How lovely. What do your duties involve?

The duties of a verger, really, are to assist in the day-to-day

running of the cathedral, to assist the clergy...

And when did you first get interested in antiques?

When I met Colin, cos he is quite an antique.

He doesn't look that old.

So, Colin, when did you meet William?

About 30 years ago.

I was a village bobby

and William came and joined us at our station

and we've been friends ever since.

Very nice to have you both here.

What would you like to know more about from Charlie?

The coffee pot.

Well, we have a Georgian, sterling silver coffee pot.

The last quarter of the 17th century,

after the Restoration period,

saw the birth of a whole new era where households became more

comfortable and indeed sophisticated.

This design takes its inspiration from the rococo style

with its delicate, intricate silver gilding.

It's a lovely thing.

But what's it worth?

Well, we don't know, but we will find out, I hope, a bit later.

Lovely to have you here, William and Colin, and jolly good luck.

Now, David and Leslie, welcome to the show. David, what do you do?

I'm actually retired now. I used to work in IT for 40 years and I...

-SHE FEIGNS YAWNING

-Thank you.

-Sorry.

-I spend a lot of time now holidaying in our motorhome.

FERN GASPS A motorhome.

A life of the open road. Where do you go in it?

All over, mostly in England.

Yes, normally round the coast with our two dogs, walking.

How lovely!

And Leslie, what do you do?

I go out as one-third of Socket, Sprocket And Wrench.

We are Devizes' answer to Hinge & Bracket

and we all have the grey wigs, the Victoriana

and we do very... we are booked for dinner parties

and...not bar mitzv...

-We haven't been asked have for bar mitzvahs?

-No.

-No, we haven't, no.

But it's awfully good. We do a lovely version of...

-IN VICTORIAN ACCENT:

-..Victoriana, dear, don't you know?

SHE LAUGHS I love that.

You are going to be booked for parties immediately.

Welcome, both of you, and jolly good luck with the game.

What lot would you like to know more about?

I would like to know about the brooch.

Well, Socket, I will tell you about the brooch.

This is a carved cameo brooch set in nine-carat gold.

A cameo is a method of carving an object which usually features

a raised image.

This example is pretty special.

It features this fantastically detailed classical scene,

carved into shell.

-But does that limit the market for it?

-Hm.

That's it for the moment.

That's all you are going to know about the lots so far.

Time now to play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

In this round, the pickers will select a lot to play for

and the quizzers will again try and secure it

by answering correctly, but this time around,

the lots come with their own question categories

and here they are.

So, if you wanted the peeler,

pickers, your quizzer would have to answer questions

on either Dinosaurs or Physics.

It's their choice.

At the end of this round, the team with the least valuable

collection will be eliminated, so choose wisely.

Team One, you are up first. Tina, what's your lot?

I'd like choose the bowl, please.

The bowl, OK.

Steve, you can answer a question on either Football or Physics.

-Football.

-Football, here we go.

The star players of which Spanish football team

are known as Galacticos?

Barcelona.

Incorrect. Real Madrid. I'm so sorry.

The bowl stays on the grid.

Colin, what would you like?

The clock.

The clock. William, Dinosaurs or Board Games?

-I'll try Board Games, please.

-Board Games. Here we go.

In the classic UK version of the board game Cluedo,

which suspect is represented by a purple playing piece?

I'll go for Mrs Plum.

William, incorrect. It is Professor Plum.

Oh, I'm sorry about that. The clock stays on the grid.

David and Leslie. Leslie, make a pick.

Earrings.

The earrings. Africa or Jazz Music, David?

-Jazz Music, please.

-Jazz Music.

Summertime is a jazz song from which George Gershwin opera?

Showboat.

Incorrect. Porgy And Bess.

We have done well on this round(!) LAUGHTER

So, we are going to pep things up a bit, teams!

Have you missed out on a lot that you really wanted?

Because if so, here is a chance to get your hands on it.

From now on, you can either go for what's left on the grid

or you can steal an item that is in a rival team's collection.

Think strategically here.

Pickers, be warned.

If you choose to steal from another team,

they will get to choose which category your quizzer must face.

And there's only one rule -

you cannot steal from a team who has only one lot in the collection,

so, William and Colin, David and Leslie, you are all right.

So, I guess it's a pick off the grid for Steve and Tina.

And what would you like?

I'll try the brooch this time.

The brooch. Football or Jazz Music, Steve?

I'll have another go at Football.

Football.

"Rome wasn't built in a day,

"but I wasn't on that particular job,"

is a quote attributed to which famous football manager?

Bill Shankly?

Ooh!

-Brian Clough.

-Oh, didn't know that one.

William and Colin, pick or steal?

The brooch.

You are picking the brooch. Football or Jazz Music, William?

-I'll try Football, please.

-OK.

The professional football clubs Hearts and Hibernian

are located in which Scottish city?

I'll try Edinburgh.

You tried correctly. Well done, the brooch is yours.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations.

David and Leslie, pick or steal?

-Chairs.

-The chairs.

Football or British Sitcoms, David?

British Sitcoms, please.

British Sitcoms, here's your question.

In the popular British sitcom Hi-de-Hi,

what colour are the coats worn by the entertainment staff?

Yellow.

Correct. The chairs are yours.

APPLAUSE

Shall we do that round again?! Cos it's quite fun, isn't it?

Here we go. Team One, pick or steal?

-Pick.

-What would you like?

I will go for the bowl, thank you very much.

The bowl. Football or Physics, Steve?

I'm doing well in Football, but third time lucky.

I'll stick with Football.

Here we go.

Which defender famously missed a penalty in the Euro '96

semifinal, causing England to lose the game to Germany?

-Stuart Pearce.

-LAUGHTER

Gareth Southgate.

I'm sorry, but the bowl is not coming to you this time.

William and Colin, pick or steal?

-Pick.

-What would you like?

The clock.

The clock. Dinosaurs or Board Games, William?

I'll go for Board Games, please. Thank you, Fern.

In total, how many pieces are on the board at the start

of a game of draughts?

18.

24.

Never mind, the clock isn't yours this time.

David and Leslie, pick or steal?

-Bowl.

-The bowl, again.

Football or Physics, David?

-Physics, please.

-LAUGHTER

Physics?!

It's got to be easier than football, huh(!)

Well, maybe not. Here we go.

What name is given to the form of energy associated with movement?

Mass.

Kinetic.

This has been a really good round(!)

I've enjoyed every minute of it. Haven't you?

-Oh, it's been wonderful.

-Kept me on the edge of my seat.

-There's still so many things on the board, Fern.

-I know!

That is the end of this round,

so let's see how the collections are looking.

Steve and Tina have the book,

the cupboard and the puppet.

William and Colin have

the coffee pot and the brooch.

And David and Leslie have

the coin and the chairs.

Now, for one team, this is the end of the road.

Charlie has been keeping tabs

and the team with the least valuable collection will now be eliminated.

So, Charlie, who is leaving us now?

Well, the pair leaving us first is...

-..Steve and Tina.

-Aw.

-Oh.

APPLAUSE

-Never mind.

-Never mind.

Steve and Tina, I am so sorry.

And you are the people with one more thing than anyone

else in your collection.

-Usually the way.

-SHE CHUCKLES

Steve and Tina, it's been lovely to have you here.

-I'm sorry you are leaving the game.

-Thank you.

-It's been excellent.

The lots in your collection are leaving with you.

So, tell us what we've got.

You've got the puppet. This is a diecast Mr Turnip puppet.

Standing seven inches high,

this marionette puppet is in good condition

and comes with the original box, however, a collector would need to

restring the puppet upon purchasing, which could affect its value.

This original Mr Turnip

-featured on the BBC television show Whirligig...

-Yes!

..in the early 1950s. Well spotted.

His catchphrase on the show was...

"Oh, Lawky, Lawky, Lum."

LAUGHTER

-So, is he worth a handsome sum?

-Oh.

Sadly...

£40.

Now, you did end up with a wonderful book. I love the book.

We described the book. It's not a first edition.

It's a second edition. So...

£80.

-Oh, yeah.

-OK.

-Now, the cupboard.

You all had a good look at the cupboard.

This is an oak cupboard with stained-glass panels in it,

dates from the late Victorian times.

The style of the carving is somewhat at odds with the geometric

forms of the colourful glass,

which seems to be looking forward to the Art Deco movement.

Also, this cupboard is, in actual fact,

the former top corner of a much larger piece.

The fact that someone converted a larger piece would allow

for the strong possibility that the glass was also a later addition.

Which would explain how it came to be influenced by the two styles.

It is £100.

-Oh, dear.

-OK.

-It didn't do very well.

So, the total value is?

Just £220, I'm afraid.

-Yes.

-Never mind.

-Never mind.

-You went for pieces you liked.

-We did, yeah.

Tina and Steve, send our love to Cornwall.

-We will do.

-OK, thank you.

We now bring the hammer down on your collection

and say thank you so much for playing For What It's Worth.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

And also, the unclaimed items in the grid are now leaving the game,

so let's quickly find out from Charlie what they are worth

and if the top lot is still in the game.

Well, we'll do that, Fern. There's enough still on the board

to start an antique shop, I think.

Now, the clock.

This is a 19th-century Vienna clock, first invented in 1635.

This one is thought to have been made by German clockmaker

Gustav Eduard Becker.

It is in superb condition, it still works beautifully.

With its classic wooden frame and striking pendulum,

it is a happy marriage of precision and elegance.

-Bit like you and me, really, Fern.

-SHE CHUCKLES

I won't say which is which.

Value, this is an astonishing value, really.

Because it is worth £120.

Now, the share certificate.

Here we have a really interesting piece of history.

This is a railway share certificate for three shares worth £10 each.

The shares are for the North Sunderland Railway Company,

which ran through Northumberland in the early part of the 20th century.

They are in good condition

and the authentication stamp can still clearly be seen.

In their day, they were worth £10 each,

what will they be worth to you today?

A whacking...

-£525.

-Crikey!

The earrings, much admired by you all.

I think Tina said she'd wear them.

Leslie, you said you'd like to wear them.

This is a pair of 18-carat, yellow gold earrings

created by the Greek designer Ilias Lalaounis in 1969.

They have an open-rounded, pentagonal shape motif

and are complete with the maker's mark.

And what a maker it is, too.

In 1986, he became the only jeweller ever

to be inducted into the Academie des Beaux-Arts.

So, he is very popular and very prolific.

£700 you've left on the board.

Now, the peeler...

Nobody rated the peeler at all.

You all had it, I think, at the bottom of your list.

This is an orange and lemon peeler made by the company called

Barrs, perhaps better known for making Irn-Bru.

This one is made of sterling silver,

which is perhaps less run-of-the-mill

than a citrus peeler would normally be,

but have you missed a trick here?

Have you left a sumptuous object on our board?

The answer is no. What excellent valuers you are

because this is worth the best part of nothing.

Oh! Phew!

Now...

..the bowl.

David and Leslie, you did your best to get this bowl, didn't you?

But sadly, the General Knowledge let you down.

Well, here we have a Chinese celadon bowl.

It is thought to have come out of China during the prosperous -

wait for it -

Ming Dynasty period between 1368 and 1644.

So, it's an actual piece of Ming porcelain.

Everybody talks about Ming, don't they, Fern?

"Ooh, have you got a piece of Ming?"

Well, you haven't got a piece of Ming.

But you could have had a piece of Ming.

And what about the value?

Ho-ho-ho.

-£1,000.

-Yes.

-That's it.

-That's it.

Which is very good news that the bottom lot is out of the game

and the top lot...

Is still in the game. It's there.

Teams, congratulations on getting this far.

You now have one last chance to pick our expert's brains,

so which lot do you need to know more about?

Let's start with William and Colin, Team Two.

The coin.

The coin, which is currently in David and Leslie's collection.

Right, here we have a James II tin farthing.

James II reigned between 1685 and 1688.

During this time, farthings were made in quite a specific way.

The front of this coin has a right-facing bust of the king

with the inscription "James II",

while the reverse showed the left-facing, seated Britannia

with the inscription "Britannia"

on the date of the edge of the coin.

It's true to say that many factors come into play

when valuing a coin and rarity is, of course, vitally important.

Condition is also something to look at

and although there are some small spots of corrosion,

this coin is in relatively good condition.

Does this farthing now cost a pretty penny?

That is for you to decide.

David and Leslie, what would you like to know more about?

It's got to be the chairs.

Here we have a set of four walnut dining chairs,

although they could be described dismissively

as simply brown furniture.

They're good quality.

They are in nice condition

and walnut is about as good as it gets in wooden items like these.

They are clearly Victorian, the telltale legs are the giveaway.

And there are, of course, four,

which isn't quite enough if you are looking for a set.

Are they enough to make you jump out of your seat?

I'll let them think about that while I explain.

It is now time for our final round and at the end of it,

we will have our winners. Jolly good luck.

APPLAUSE

In this round, I will show you a category and 12 possible answers.

Nine of the answers are correct, three are not.

Each of you will then take turns to choose an answer

you think is correct and as it is the final round,

both quizzers and pickers will play.

So, there is nowhere to hide.

Pick a wrong answer and your opponents will be able to

steal a lot from your collection.

If all nine correct answers are given,

then the team who gives the final correct answer will be the winners.

We will play three questions in total

and the pair with the most valuable collection can choose to go

first or second on this one. So, Charlie, who is that at the moment?

The team who has the most valuable collection so far is...

..David and Leslie.

-Wow!

-Hm.

OK, David and Leslie, the first question is...

..actors referenced in Vogue by Madonna.

So, can you spot the names of screen stars

mentioned in the lyrics of Madonna's 1990 hit Vogue?

Would you like to go first or second?

-First.

-First, OK. Let's have a look at the answers.

Nine of those are correct, three are not.

David, give me an answer.

-Rita Hayworth.

-Rita Hayworth.

If this goes green, it means it is correct.

Of course, it's correct.

Rita Hayworth, very big star in the 1940s.

William, give me an answer.

Bette Davis.

Bette Davis, Bet-tee Davis, however we want to pronounce it.

It's correct. And the lyric is, "Bette Davis, we love you."

Leslie, make a pick.

Jean Harlow.

Correct. The 1930s sex symbol.

Colin, give me an answer.

Mae West.

Mae West.

FERN GASPS

Not correct.

Let's have a look at the other answers. Where are the wrong ones?

Barbara Stanwyck isn't mentioned

and James Stewart wasn't there either.

David and Leslie, you can choose to steal from William and Colin.

What would you like?

The coffee pot.

The coffee pot is yours.

-William and Colin, this is your chance.

-Sorry.

Let's have a look at question two.

19th-century battles.

Can you find the real names of major battles

which took place between 1800 and 1899?

William and Colin, this is your question.

Do you want to go first or second?

-Should we go first?

-Yeah.

-First, please.

-First.

Let's have a look at the answers.

William, give me a correct answer.

Let's try Rorke's Drift.

Rorke's Drift, let's have a look.

Correct, a battle in the Anglo-Zulu War, of course.

David, give me an answer.

-Gettysburg.

-Gettysburg.

Correct.

Colin.

The Alamo.

Yes, of course. David.

I will go for Little Bighorn.

Yes, it's correct. Custer's Last Stand.

Colin.

-Friedland.

-Friedland.

Correct, a French victory in the Napoleonic Wars.

Leslie, this is getting hard. Three are wrong. Only two are right.

Cos I can't say it... Bo-ya-ca-sa. Is it Boy-casa?

-Boyaca. You are going for Boyaca.

-Boyaca.

Correct!

The battle that won Colombia its independence.

Phew!

William, this could make or break the round.

LAUGHTER Give me an answer.

-I'm going to try Addington.

-Addington.

-Please.

Oh!

No, Henry Addington was a 19th-century British Prime Minister.

Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.

Braford is a breed of cattle.

Benatar, no such battle,

but Pat Benatar sang a song called Love Is A Battlefield.

David and Leslie, you can steal from William and Colin.

Ooh! That'd be the brooch, then.

The brooch is yours.

It's not over yet.

There's one last question left in this round

and if you win this, William and Colin,

and pick the right item,

you could end up winning the game.

Here's the question.

US postal abbreviations.

You need to find the real abbreviations

for American states as used by the US Postal Service.

Do you want to go first or second, David and Leslie?

-First.

-First.

Let's have a look at the answers.

David, give me an answer.

-OH.

-0H.

Correct, Ohio.

William.

-KY.

-KY.

Correct, Kentucky.

Leslie.

-IL.

-IL.

Correct, Illinois.

Colin.

-TP.

FERN GASPS

Incorrect.

Let's see where all the other wrong answers are.

No LO and no IC.

Oh, William and Colin, you've played so valiantly,

but you were up against a couple of burglars who took everything.

LAUGHTER Charlie, what do you think?

-William and Colin have been great, haven't they?

-Absolutely splendid.

William and Colin, it's been a pleasure to have you both.

But I'm so sorry, we have to bring the hammer down on you

and say thank you for playing For What It's Worth.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

Well, well done.

Leslie and David, you got the clean sweep there.

You are today's winners

and all that remains is for you to claim your prize.

All you have to do is pick one of your lots in the collection

and we will give you its value in cash.

-So, which one do you want to choose?

-Oh!

-Decide together.

Oh, what do you think?

Oh, what do you think?

Well, we have the best with the coin and the chairs.

-Yeah, we did, didn't we?

-So, it's got to be the coin or the chairs.

-Yeah, I think so.

-But the chairs are only four as opposed to six.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Should we go with the coin?

-The coin could be...

It could be worth something. What do you think?

Go with your gut feeling. Tell me.

-I'd go with the chairs.

-Would you?

-Yeah.

-Would you?

-Yeah.

-You are never right.

-No, no.

-LAUGHTER

We are arguing about this cos, like,

he's...he's...he's never right.

I am, sometimes, right, yes.

-And I'd go coin or chairs, but I think...

-Well, obviously.

Because that was the first lot, but...

-Gut feeling, there's only four chairs...

-Yeah.

..there's one coin and that could be very rare.

-OK.

-Oh, let's go for it.

-WHISPERS:

-Coin, coin, coin.

-Coin. Coin.

-Coin!

-We are going for the coin.

-Coin!

OK, before we tell you what it is worth,

Charlie is going to tell us the worth of the lots you haven't won.

Hm.

Well, should we start with the brooch?

Fabulous quality, isn't it?

Shell-carved cameo brooch.

What does this scene depict?

Why are they holding the baby upside down?

Fern, any ideas?

Achilles?

Achilles.

Well done. You've spotted it.

Achilles, holding by the heel.

Fern's got the answer to everything.

Value -

-£400.

-Oh.

Coffee pot, everybody loved the coffee pot.

Very rococo, 18th-century artistic movement,

and it is a lovely, lovely object.

The marks are so crisp.

-You looked at the bottom, didn't you?

-Yes.

That's the great thing about silver, you can date it to the nearest year

and you can find out who made it.

And it is in super condition

-and it is worth £800.

-Ooh!

Now the chairs.

Did I not hear a little mutter that you wanted the chairs?

-LAUGHING:

-Yes.

-Yes.

-I liked the chairs.

I knew you liked the chairs.

-Why didn't you go with the chairs?

-Cos he talked me out of it.

-It's my fault.

-You didn't!

My fault.

Everything is your fault, isn't it?

Oh, dear. Well, they are fabulous quality.

The only thing, I think, possibly about these is

they could originally have been part of a nine-piece salon suite.

I also think they're good enough quality to probably be

by somebody like Holland and Holland.

They are super.

That ebony inlay along the top rail is pretty exquisite.

Do you know what these chairs are worth?

-No, you are going to tell us now.

-I am going to tell you.

-Yes.

-Have you a hanky?

-Yes.

-Oh, no.

-They're worth £60!

-Oh! Yes!

-LAUGHTER

-Draw your own conclusions.

-That's astonishing.

-BOTH:

-Wow!

-OK, David and Leslie, we now know that the coin is the top lot.

-Yes!

You have won the value of it in cash

and we reckon that value is...

£2,500.

-No!

-APPLAUSE

But can we tempt you with the mystery lot...

-No.

-..which may be worth...

-No.

..may be worth even more.

Come and join me.

Come on.

-David and Leslie, there it is.

-Gosh!

-Fascinating.

-Such a small thing, but such a lot of money.

-Yes.

-Yes.

It's good, isn't it?

So, as things stand, you have won the value in cash of that coin,

which we know is the top lot and we know it is worth £2,500.

But the game isn't over yet. BOTH GROAN

Charlie is going to tempt you with today's mystery lot.

-I am, Fern.

-Yes.

Ooh!

-Oh, they're beautiful.

-There you go.

-What have we got here, Charlie?

-Would you like to know about them?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Go on, then.

It's a pair of Derby frill vases,

or perfume pots, made in 1760

and hand-painted by the artist known only

as the Moth And Bird Painter.

The lids are delicately perforated, as you can see,

to allow the perfume to breathe through the porcelain.

Whilst Derby's frill vases are rare enough

within the range of Derby collectibles,

this pair, topped with canaries,

are rare examples of frill vases themselves.

The lids have been slightly damaged

and then reglued, which could affect their value.

So, will choosing this mystery lot

mean the sweet smell of success for you?

-Well, there is only one way to find out.

-Ooh.

So, all that is left for you to decide

is whether to take home the value of the coin from your collection

or to dump it in favour of today's mystery lot -

the perfume pots.

-Oh, they are gorgeous.

-Hm.

What is your gut feeling?

-Go on, then, should we argue about it now?

-Yeah.

-You say what you think.

-I think I'd stick with the coin.

-Yes, so would I!

-Oh, good.

-OK, well, that's a surprise.

-LAUGHTER

Oh, yeah, I think the coin.

David and Leslie are going with the coin,

which means you have won its worth in cash,

which, as you know, is £2,500.

But how much is this worth?

What would your valuation on this pair of beautiful perfume pots be?

1,500 to 1,800.

-Have you got an antique shop?

-No.

May I suggest...

-that you start one?

-Yes!

-LAUGHTER

Oh, I don't believe it.

Because they are worth £1,500.

Wow! APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

-That's wonderful.

-Brilliant. Well done.

-Thank you.

-All the way, your instinct was right and you trusted it.

-Oh, wow.

That's extraordinary, so...

-He loves old things.

-LAUGHTER

-She said that, not me.

-Yeah.

Congratulations today.

David and Leslie, you are going home with £2,500.

Oh, my word. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Charlie.

-Thank you for lending us all your expertise.

-With pleasure.

And I hope we see you again very soon.

And we hope we see YOU again very soon when more teams will be trying

to spot the lot to win the lot on For What It's Worth.

Goodbye for now. APPLAUSE
